Well, fwiw, there are light guns and ridiculously light guns. A 6 lb gun is one thing, but a 4.25 lb gun is more like a novelty than a tool, afaic. I cannot imagine ever learning to hit anything flying with it. ‘Course, if you’re getting off two shots before shouldering it…

Better shoot pull away or pass through with those light guns. Maintained lead is much harder to maintain with a very light gun.
Agreed that very lightweight shotguns require, for me, a different style of shooting. I struggled with the little sub-5 lb. .410s until I discovered that I had to begin my "tracking" before the gun hit the shoulder. Then, fire almost immediately upon acquiring a cheek weld. Entirely different from shooting a heavier gun, for me. But, I never, ever felt the need to pull the trigger before the gun hit my shoulder pocket. To do that would be as near a guaranteed miss as anything I can think of.
